a region of the Middle East that stretches in a large crescent-shaped curve from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea. a wide flat plain in present-day Iraq. This plain lays between two great rivers, the Tigis and the Euphrates.

Named for its rich soils, the Fertile Crescent, often called the “cradle of civilization,” is found in the Middle East. Irrigation and agriculture developed here because of the fertile soil found near these rivers. Access to water helped with farming and trade routes.

Iran’s Interior Plateau. Known as the “Cradle of Civilization,” this region was home to several early river valley societies. Located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the region is known for its rich alluvial soil, which has earned it the nickname the “Fertile Crescent.”

Mesopotamia is the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It is divided into a rugged plateau to the north and fertile plains to the south.

The most important factor of making Mesopotamia’s farmland fertile was water.

The Fertile Crescent is the boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East that was home to some of the earliest human civilizations. The Fertile Crescent includes ancient Mesopotamia.

The Fertile Crescent was good for farming because of the fertility of its land, a result of irrigation from numerous large rivers in the region.

In current usage, the Fertile Crescent includes Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan, as well as the surrounding portions of Turkey and Iran.

The Fertile Crescent is a rich food-growing area in a part of the world where most of the land is too dry for farming. The muddy, swampy land between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers provided the natural resources that encouraged people to settle in one place.

1. Some of the best farmland of the Fertile Crescent is in a narrow strip of land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. 2. Agriculture has stayed largely organic for most of its 10,000-year history, from the first Fertile Crescent plots to the plantations of colonial America.

KYOTO/NAIROBI, 22 March (UNEP) — The marshlands of Mesopotamia, considered by some to be the biblical location of the Garden of Eden and known as the fertile crescent, are continuing to disappear at an alarming rate.

Suggestions for the location of the Garden of Eden include the head of the Persian Gulf, in southern Mesopotamia (now Iraq) where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers run into the sea; and in the Armenian Highlands or Armenian Plateau.

The entry of Adam into the Garden only forty days after his creation (eighty for Eve).

Adam and Eve were created by God and lived in the Garden of Eden. They were commanded not to eat of the Tree of Immortality, but they did, despite the fact that they were already immortal. God cast them out of the Garden of Eden to the earth. Eve landed in Jeddah, and Adam in Sri Lanka.

For this, God banished Adam and Eve to earth; non-canonical Sunni hadith say that fruits were turned to thorns and pregnancy became dangerous. Non-canonical Sunni hadith also say that Adam and Eve were cast down far apart, so that they had to search for each other and eventually met each other at Mount Arafat.

The sum of the years of the First Age. From Adam unto Noah’s flood are years 1656. For when Adam was 150 years old he begat Seth. Seth being 105 years, begat Enos.
